Galaxy Z Fold 3

Samsung has announced the Galaxy Z Fold 3 which offers an improved 50MP main camera, a sturdier display, slimmer hinge and narrower bezels. And it offers a new taskbar along with better multitasking. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is best foldable phone yet, with a more durable design and S Pen support, and the multitasking features are even better. You need a case to store the stylus and the cameras are not upgraded, but overall the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is a great choice for power users. One of the lingering concerns of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series is their durability, particularly given the relatively fragile nature of its foldable display. Of course, these concerns were exacerbated by the galaxy  which had to be aborted because of multiple display failures in the hands of early reviewers. Since then, Samsung has been working hard to improve the battered image of the device by making it tougher with each subsequent generation. Samsung says the new Eco OLED panel is able to achieve this by el...

New Intel chip takes fast jabs at iPhone, Galaxy Nexus

Liu Jun of Lenovo holding up the K800, Lenovo's first Intel-powered smartphone, at CES 2012. Intel's new chip for phones is surprising in many respects, but the biggest shocker is speed. The "Medfield" Atom Z2460 chip for smartphones,  announced at CES , handily beats some of the fastest phones on the market, review site Anandtech said in  this  post. Is this fast enough to be smartphone-market disruptive? Will battery life measure up? Only Lenovo and Motorola know for sure (Anandtech  thinks Medfield will be fine  on battery life). One thing is for certain, though: neither of those companies are signing up for Medfield out of pity, as Anand Shimpi points out. And--another shocker--the results that Anandtech cites are not that different from a bar-graph slide (below) that CEO Paul Otellini showed at a Credit Suisse Annual Technology Conference back in November. (I should add that I had somebody whispering in my ear before  CES  to take those be...

PCs take the lead at CES 2012: Laptops, desktops, and hardware

It's a rare  CES  for which most of the digital ink spilled is about computers and hardware, rather than giant televisions. But 2012 was just such a year, thanks to the never-ending drumbeat of Intel's ultrabook platform. Yes, ultrabooks again It seems like you couldn't walk more than a hundred steps across the velvety carpet of the CES show floor without running into a giant ULTRABOOK or WINDOWS 8 sign. The first official ultrabook-designated laptops (it's an Intel marketing term) arrived during the 2011 holiday season, but CES 2012 was a coming-out party for a host of new designs from nearly all manufacturers. Mooly Eden, the head of Intel's PC unit, shows off a concept ultrabook that has both a touch screen and keyboard at a press conference at CES. The laptops ranged from the diminutive (the  Acer Aspire S5 ) to the large and bold (the  HP Envy 14 Spectre ), and to the copycat (the MacBook-Air-alike  Dell XPS 13 ). And  14- and 15-inch models ,...

The hidden Samsung laptops of CES 2012

The Series 7 Gamer. No matter how much you prepare for a trade show like  CES , what you see on the floor never quite matches what news you get beforehand. In the case of Samsung, we had a chance to look at the new Samsung Series 9 and Series 5 Ultra ultrabook, but were surprised by quite a few intriguing laptops at Samsung's booth, which we should expect to see later this year. The Series 7 Gamer. The  Series 7 Gamer  is a big-boned, lights-and-flash gaming laptop, the antidote to ultrabooks. Units on the show floor came in bright yellow and red candy colors, and bright LED lights and strobing effects graced a number of the stylized controls. The Series 7 has a tuning wheel for game settings and a "gaming mode" button that transforms the system into an optimized gaming machine, complete with over-the-top sound effects. The LED-backlit keyboard changes color, too, highlighting the standard gaming keys in red. Samsung Series 7 Gamer laptop (photos) 1-2  of...
